Chapter 424: Reminiscing

Luo Bin followed Karl to the railing, looking at the distant sea together. Everything seemed to have returned to the past.

"Did you come specifically to find me this time, or..."

"Specifically to find you, because the World Government really asked me to eliminate you."

Luo Bin's expression dimmed slightly: "Then now..."

Karl waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. The World Government doesn't have the power to sway my will yet."

"Heh~" Luo Bin chuckled, playing with the pendant in her palm: "Then, do you know the Straw Hat crew too?"

"More than just know them. Wait for them to come back and ask them. Each of them has had some contact with me, especially Straw Hat Luffy. That guy's grandfather is Garp!"

Luo Bin said with some surprise: "He has such a background?"

"Hahaha, his background is far from as simple as you imagine! By the way, what have you been doing all these years... haha, I almost forgot, you're the Child of the Devil!"

Luo Bin smiled amusedly and said faintly: "The only goal that supports me to live now is probably the truth of history."

"It's just a pity that this path is far more difficult than I imagined."

Karl rubbed his chin and took out a rubbing of a Poneglyph from his system space: "Are you talking about this?"

!!!

Luo Bin excitedly took the rubbing from Karl's hand and examined it carefully: "That's right, it's real. Where did you get it?"

"Big Mom's treasure vault has a red Road Poneglyph, and there are two others in Wano and Zou respectively. The last Road Poneglyph is missing."

"How do you know so much?"

Karl said faintly: "Because I've been to all those places!"

"That's true, I almost forgot, you're a Marine Hero! Sigh~ It's truly unpredictable. Before, I kept thinking that if you could rise in the Marines, you'd be a Commodore at most, but I never imagined you'd be the famous Marine Hero."

"How did you do it? Why hadn't I heard of your name before?"

Facing Luo Bin's question, Karl smiled. If he hadn't awakened the "slacking off" system, Luo Bin might have found it very difficult to see him again in this lifetime.

No, it should be that he would have found it very difficult to see Luo Bin again in this lifetime.

"How should I put it? Luck. Before I got the Devil Fruit, I was just an ordinary man, useless except for being handsome."

Hearing this, Luo Bin covered her mouth and laughed: "You're still as fond of bragging as you were when you were a child!"

"How can this be called bragging? Ask yourself, am I not handsome and dashing?"

Luo Bin looked at Karl's handsome face and said helplessly: "Alright! I know you're the world's number one handsome guy, stop showing off!"

After years of separation, the two seemed to have endless topics to discuss. Time passed quickly. They chatted for nearly an hour without realizing it, and they didn't even know when Chopper had woken up.

Watching the two chatting happily, Chopper was confused. He clearly remembered that before he fainted, Mr. Karl was holding a blade and pointing it at Luo Bin. How were they now chatting non-stop like long-time friends?

Although his stomach was full of questions, Chopper didn't dare to ask. He could only crawl bit by bit on the deck, praying that Karl and Luo Bin wouldn't discover him.

"By the way, Luo Bin, do you know that the organizations you've stayed in over the years have been destroyed without exception?"

Luo Bin shook her head. She really didn't know. Every time she finally settled down, the organization she was in was either destroyed or wiped out by the Marines. She was also very helpless!

"Aokiji did it."

"Aokiji?"

Luo Bin's pupils shrank, and her mind couldn't help but recall that tall, horse-faced man, the man she still couldn't fathom to this day.

"That's right. The reason you've been drifting everywhere all these years is all thanks to him. But it is precisely because of this that you've been able to live until today."

"Although I don't know what Kuzan is thinking, I think he must have his own reasons."

Luo Bin took a deep breath and sighed: "I understand..."

"Chopper, come here."

Hearing this, Chopper, who was just about to crawl to the door, was startled and turned to look at Karl awkwardly: "Eh! Mr. Karl!"

Chopper trotted over to Karl's side, looking at Luo Bin for a moment, then at Karl for a moment.

"Chopper, Luo Bin is my friend, but she is also a wanted criminal, so I can't protect her all the time. Can I ask you to protect Luo Bin for me?"

Chopper opened his mouth wide in surprise, pointing at himself with his small hooves: "Ah? Me? Mr. Karl, I can't do it. I'm not as strong as Luo Bin. You should ask Luffy and Zoro."

Karl shook his head: "No, Chopper, don't look down on yourself too much. You are a Devil Fruit user, and your potential is great. One day you will become a trustworthy man. When that time comes, I'll leave it to you to take care of Luo Bin, okay?"

A trustworthy man?

This sentence instantly struck Chopper's heart, and his blood instantly boiled.

"Oh-oh-oh!!! I will definitely protect Luo Bin! I can definitely do it!!!"

Karl nodded with satisfaction, patted Chopper's head, took five marshmallows out of his system space, and handed them to Chopper: "Take them and eat!"

Chopper's eyes lit up instantly. He happily took the marshmallows, stuck out his pink tongue to lick them, and after feeling the sweetness on the tip of his tongue, he squinted his eyes with a smile.

Then Karl stood up and took a pile of Poneglyph rubbings out of his system space.

"This is the Wano Road Poneglyph rubbing, this is the Zou Road Poneglyph rubbing, and this is the Fish-Man Island Poneglyph rubbing."

"This is the Skypiea Poneglyph rubbing, this is..."

By the time Karl finished taking them out, a thick stack of rubbings had appeared in front of Luo Bin.

"Your wish is to understand the truth of history, and I can only help you this much. The rest will depend on yourself."

Luo Bin looked at Karl earnestly, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the cheek: "Thank you, Karl."

"You're welcome, little beggar."

On the shore, Sanji, who was preparing to return to the ship to get something:???

"Miss Luo Bin!!! Why? Why???"

Karl turned his head and saw it was Sanji howling like a ghost. He said helplessly: "It seems your partners are back, and I should be going too."

"In such a rush to leave? Although you are a Marine, you don't seem to hate the Straw Hat crew, right? After all, they aren't pure pirates."

Karl smiled: "But as you said, I am a Marine."

"Raven, let's go."

"Caw!"

Karl had just sat on the Raven's back when he suddenly thought of something: "By the way, give these two blades to Zoro for me!"

"Their names are Oto and Kogarashi!" ===== CHAPTER 426 =====
